A Higher Hunger

A Higher HungerFocus: Only feeding the higher hunger truly satisfies.I. The LOWER Hunger is at WAR with the HIGHER Hunger.Romans 7:15 ESVFor I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.Romans 7:18 ESVFor I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.Romans 7:21-23 NIVSo I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.II. Only A Higher Hunger Will SEEK A SAVIOR.Matthew 5:6 ESVRomans 7:24 ESVA. Christ BEATS the GORILLA.Romans 8:1-4 ESVB. How Man Beats the GORILLA (Sin's Powerful CRAVINGS)1.
